Megan Fox dropped from 'Transformers 3'?

A spokesperson for Paramount Pictures confirmed reports that the actress's contract has not been renewed for the film, says Entertainment Tonight.

No explanation was given for Fox's departure, although speculation points towards the 23-year-old's previous digs at the franchise, including the claim that the films are "not about acting" and comparing Bay, whom she says was "a nightmare to work for", to Hitler.

Earlier this month, Patrick Dempsey was cast in the picture as Fox's former character's boss.
